I agree that both violate the unwritten umpire code of behavior, but one has possible on field consequences while the other does not.
I think both look stupid. I did not see what was described, but your same justification for what you feel looks dumb is the very same reason I think brushing a base off (which you can easily see with dirt on it BTW) and using a object that is designed only for the plate (hence the name "plate brush").
